“I have a 9 year old pit/rottweiler mix that is just starting to show signs of aging and arthritis. Naturally, I am very picky about who I trust with my dog. That is why I am so glad to have found Tyler on this app. My dog took an immediate liking to him and let him handle him on the leash the very first meeting. Since he is a big dog, it was important to find someone that can handle him if he decides to go after a squirrel, cat, or those pesky sky cats (crows). Tyler immediately put my mind at ease as well. He is very cognizant of Dewey’s needs as well as any of my concerns. He takes the time to get to know your dog and asks questions. After meeting us, he texted me a few days later with questions about Dewey and I liked that he was thinking about my dog a few days before the walk and preparing. I recently had concerts in town on back to back nights — including a Friday night — and Tyler was more than accommodating to help and give up part of his weekend. He also is very punctual and fantastic about communicating. I have zero concerns to use Tyler when I can. Just the fact that he can be available on weekends and short notice is great. If you have a dog, you know how important it is to have someone reliable that will care for your dog as it were his own. That said, you should definitely book Tyler without hesitation.”
About: From fitness to a casual stroll,I adjust to your fur babies needs. I am a Central Florida Native so the heat and humidity is "home" for me and walking dogs is my zen space. I am fluid because of my private yoga classes. So I am free most mornings and evenings as well as weekends. I worked in the Theme Parks for over 27 years so I no longer have those hours. I can come to your location, I have experience with delivery services from Amazon and Ups, as well as in home yoga services so I provide the best home care with attention to your family's needs.
“Ian was a great help with my Jojo!!! He was a fast communicator and very punctual. I felt very comfortable leaving Jojo in his care. He sent great photos!!! Jojo looks forward seeing Ian again next week!!!”
“Amber was phenomenal ! She took amazing care of my menace Burton. Her pre-service prep is very thoughtful; she definitely cares about making sure your furbaby stays in routine and gets lots of love. Burton has separation anxiety and she provided all behavioral details to me during her walks with him. Definitely going to work with her again! Thank you Amber !!”
About: I am a lover to all pets, but especially big dogs. Some people are scared of them, but I think that they’re the biggest babies ever. I’ve had one of my own so I know from personal experience. I’ve handled pets from the tiniest to the biggest so I love them all. I currently work full-time. But I’m a very flexible person and I have no problem with early mornings or late afternoons. I’m honestly OK with any time upon discussion. Just reach out! I care for pets in their own environment so they stay comfortable and stress-free. I follow their daily routine, give plenty of attention, go for walks or play sessions, and make sure they’re fed and happy. I also keep the home tidy and secure while you’re away.
“Devin has been an incredible dog charmer! Maddix took to him in minutes. He's courteous, flexible, knowledgeable and he was there for Maddix at the last minute. You are missing out if you don't give Devin a try! Thank you Devin for helping me out, especially at the last minute!”
About: Our family has over 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including two dogs and a cat. Through the years, I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from active younger pets to seniors requiring extra patience and attention. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing exercise, giving plenty of affection, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. An added perk, I am currently working remote from home and will be able to be home with your pets the majority of the day! I currently work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with flexibility for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins. I am home most of the day and can give pets the attention and care they need while maintaining their normal routines. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to work with owners to provide a comfortable, stress-free experience. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. As a longtime pet owner, I understand the importance of keeping pets secure, maintaining their routines, and paying attention to their individual personalities and needs. I am committed to providing a clean home, close supervision, regular exercise, and plenty of affection. Since I work remotely, I am able to be present throughout the day and provide companionship, bathroom breaks, and regular attention. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat every pet with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own.
“You will not find a better dog walker/sitter then Jeremy! He is responsible, punctual & trustworthy and overall a joy to be around. In addition, our guys love him & go ballistic when he shows up to take them for their walks! - Kevin”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and genuinely love animals. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own. My remote, flexible work schedule makes pet care easy to fit into my daily routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and quality attention. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, spending time outdoors, going for walks, and keeping them happy and cared for.
About: Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for years. I previously worked professionally as a dog groomer, so I have hands-on experience safely handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, small breeds, and dogs that may need a little extra patience. My wife is an active professional dog groomer and is also a Rover sitter. We both care for the dogs staying in our home, so your pet benefits from having two experienced people available to provide attention, supervision, and care. We work together to follow each dog’s normal feeding schedule, potty routine, medications if needed, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner. We prefer to keep boarding personal and comfortable rather than overcrowding our home with dogs. Our goal is for every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and treated like part of the family while their owner is away.. I currently work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day for dogs staying with us. They receive regular potty breaks, attention, playtime, exercise, and supervision instead of being left alone for long periods. We live in a first-floor apartment in a large pet-friendly community with grassy areas, sidewalks, walking trails, and a dog park nearby for exercise and enrichment. We also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing throughout their stay
About: Animal lover, pet-less at the moment, but with lots of animals in my life. I have plenty of love, patience, cuddles, and care to give to your furry family member, big or small. I know how important and stressful finding a reliable place or a trustworthy person is. For over 20 years now neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to take care of their beloved pets at their house or mine. I have a very welcoming home with couches to surf, plenty of laps to sit on, lots of treats(or not), walks and playtime. My backyard is enclosed and the community has lots of green areas, several parks, fun walks and a dog park just a car ride away. I don’t mind traveling. I have taken care of two potbelly pigs, two donkeys, a squirrel, and two cats up in Archer, FL. Five cats and an African Gray parrot in Orlando. Several cats and dogs at their homes and mine, and whenever I can, I escape to my friend’s farm to help with the care of their horses. My grand-dog, April, loves to visit and get spoiled! Give me the opportunity to show you how well and at home your baby will feel! I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I set up beds in the living room and in my office. I also do pottery, and I have my wheel in an enclosed patio with a rug right next to it for my special helpers! I do a walk in the morning and another one about an hour after breakfast followed by some playtime. Then I do bathroom breaks every two hours or as needed. After noon, I work on my pottery and do some gardening in my fenced backyard. Rest assured your pet will never be outside unsupervised. Late afternoon I take them for a longer walk, a bathroom break after dinner, and again before bed. I make sure your baby is active and well exercised, with plenty of time for play, rest, and cuddles! And of course, I will also follow any schedule or routine they may have. I have a pet friendly home with an enclosed patio and fenced backyard, but rest assured your pup will never be left outside unsupervised. Your pet is welcomed on our couches, our laps, and any part of the house they wish to be in. If I have to go out, and no one else is home, I will leave the TV on with relaxing music or pet friendly content playing. I don’t own a crate, but you’re welcome to bring one if your baby is used to staying or sleeping in one. They are welcome to sleep in any of our bedrooms. I usually don’t allow them on my bed but my daughter will be ever so happy to oblige! If I’m caring for your beloved at your home, I will follow any rules you have set up for them, even sleeping with them if necessary!

It’s been a while since I started using Matthew for Dewey and I am thrilled to say that Dewey has made a new best friend and gets so excited when it’s time for a walk. Getting the pictures and the walk report is one of the highlights of my workday when I am in the office. We worry about our dogs so much and it’s great that my dog has a friend that loves him as if he were his own dog.

Brenda and Dwain seriously took the best care of our dog and cat during our trip and even came back on sudden notice to walk our pup when our flight was delayed. Their updates and pictures made our day and eased our minds. I had zero concerns the entire time we were away. Honestly, I felt like our pets were on their own mini vacay with the walks, attention, and endless love they got. 😂 10000% would recommend them to anyone.
Anathalia was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she blew our expectations out of the water. She is extremely communicative, professional, and trustworthy, and took the cutest photos of our puppy when she would take her on walks (which I loved!) She made sure to keep me in the loop about everything she was doing with our puppy & is very sweet; I definitely recommend her!!
Halle - Thank you so much for taking care of our baby boy!!! If I could give you 10 stars I would. We instantly felt comfortable with you and so glad we found you. You are very professional, and sweet, you came on time to every appointment and did everything exactly the way we left directions. Will definitely use you again!! Happy doggie & mama 🥰

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Forest City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
